Soft drink

Bibliography

John J. Riley, A History of the American Soft Drink Industry: Bottled Carbonated Beverages, 1807–1957 (1958, reprinted 1972), studies the evolution of the American flavoured soft drink, European development of simulated effervescent waters in the early 1800s, and early development of the flavoured carbonated beverage in the United States. Later developments can be traced through the history of specific companies: Anne Hoy,Coca-Cola: The First Hundred Years (1986); and Douglas A. Simmons,Schweppes, the First 200 Years (1983). M.B. Jacobs, Manufacture and Analysis of Carbonated Beverages (1959), is a detailed treatment. See also L.F. Green and H.W. Houghton,Developments in Soft Drink Technology, 3 vol. (1978–84).
